Is there a way to make images clearer?
Hi,
I used snipping tool on my desktop and inserted the bottom 3 lines of this page but it looks blurry compared to the measures above it. I saved it as a PNG. Is there anyway to make images clearer? I've attached both the musescore file and the PDF.
Thanks for your help!

It depends on the quality of the document you copied. I think I would consider making this in a word type document rather than all in MuseScore. When I copy the top line into a doc, it is just as clear as the original. But the bottom lines do not copy well because they are not the same quality to begin with.

Good idea- I'll try it. Thanks!
Use svg format, not png. Vector formats can be scaled

There is a downside though - you can't use the snipping tool.
On the other hand, Musescore allows you to create a canvas of any given size. It's not as convenient, but you can use it.

You can in 3.x (and so in my 3.7 Evolution too)

No, you can export to svg directly in Musescore: File - Export - Format (SVG).
Then you can insert the svg image just like you did with png

Hi again- can you tell me how to insert an svg image in the space below the last measure? I don't see a way to add a frame underneath it, just above it. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for all your help!
Why don't you do the whole page in MS?
Why does part of this score need to be an image at all?
I can't edit your score because I am on MS3 but maybe this mixed text and stave score can be of help:

I didn't do the whole page in MS because I needed smaller side margins to get smaller measures for the top part. If I use the same margins for the entire page and just have two measures on a line, they're both very long and it doesn't look proportional.
I attached it with narrow margins for the whole page- in the 3rd system there are only two measures and they're too long. (Hope this makes sense).

You can use horizontal frames to consume horizontal space and use this to vary the margins. Have a look at the second page of the score I linked above, sub-titled, "Compound Meter". You can achieve pretty much any layout by using frames and spacers.
[Edit] In fact you can see smaller margins on the very first page of the above score.

That's right! I use vertical frames all the time but not horizontal ones. Thank you for the reminder!

Ok, so I was able to insert a horizontal frame on the left, but when I clicked the measure on the right, the frame divided the two measures. Do you know how I can add a frame on the right hand side?
I attached the file. It's the 3rd system down. Thank you for your help!

1) Remove the line break before the final measure, (which is on the last stave row on its own)
![frames.png]( "frames.png")
2) Insert a horizontal frame before the last measure, (which is now joined to the previous stave row).
3) Add a line break on the horizontal frame, (to restore the original formatting).

Thank you SO much for explaining this! What a puzzle. I've added this to my MS notes file so I'll remember next time. Really appreciate it!
